[Boost-users] Making my UdpConnection class thread safe

I have implemented some connection classes, using Boost ASIO, to replace
some low level C code in an application, and everything is working great,
except for one problem.

Basically, I have a UdpConnection class that does synchronous read and
write, but it uses async methods to handle time-outs as per the boost
examples.  The problem is I can't figure out how to make it threadsafe.

I have tried adding strands to the event handlers to make this class
threadsafe (code below), but that isn't working.  I suspect it is because
of the way timeout is implemented. I have included my code in 4 classes in
pastebin.

Single threaded is working fine.  I also have TcpConnection and
UnixSocketConnection classes that don't need to be shared amongst multiple
threads and they work fine.  However, I can't get multi-threaded UDP code
to work.

Am I missing something?  Sources below:
